- the seat 120 rotates with the two second fixing bases 133 around a second axial direction A 2 to drive the seat 120 to lean forward and backward with respect to the base 110 .
- the first axial direction A 1 and the second axial direction A 2 are perpendicular to each other, wherein the first axial direction A 1 is parallel to the first shaft 132 and the second shaft 134 is parallel to the second axial direction A 2 .
- the first driving assembly 135 includes a first motor 135 a , a first driven member 135 b , a first bearing 135 c , and a first linking member 135 d , wherein the number of the first bearing 135 c may be two and the number of the first driven member 135 b may be two.
- the two first bearings 135 c are respectively fixed to the two first fixing bases 131 and the two first driven members 135 b are respectively fixed to the two first bearings 135 c .
- each of the first bearings 135 c is fixed to the corresponding first fixing base 131 with an outer ring, wherein each of the first driven members 135 b is fixed to the outer ring of the corresponding first bearing 135 c and the two opposite ends of the first shaft 132 respectively passes through the two first driven members 135 b to connect to inner rings of the two first bearings 135 c .
- each of the first driven members 135 b cannot rotate with respect to the corresponding first fixing base 131 , but the first shaft 132 can rotate with respect to the two first fixing bases 131 through the two first bearings 135 c .
- the first driven member 135 b is a pulley and the first linking member 135 d is a belt.
- the first linking member 135 d is coupled to one of the two first driven members 135 b and a power output shaft 135 e of the first motor 135 a . Since the first motor 135 a of the embodiment is fixed to the first shaft 132 and each of the first driven members 135 b cannot rotate with respect to the corresponding first fixing base 131 , the power output shaft 135 e cannot drive the first linking member 135 d during the operation of the first motor 135 a , thereby causing the first motor 135 a to produce self-rotation to drive the first shaft 132 to rotate with respect to the two first fixing bases 131 through the two first bearings 135 c.
- the second driving assembly 136 includes a second motor 136 a , a second driven member 136 b , a second bearing 136 c , and a second linking member 136 d , wherein the number of the second driven member 136 b may be two and the number of the second bearing 136 c may be two.
- the two second driven members 136 b are respectively fixed to the two second fixing bases 133 and the two second bearings 136 c are respectively fixed to the two second driven members 136 b .
- each of the second bearings 136 c is fixed to the corresponding second driven member 136 b with an outer ring and the two opposite ends of the second shaft 134 are respectively connected to inner rings of the two second bearings 136 c .
- the two second driven members 136 b are respectively connected to the second shaft 134 through the two second bearings 136 c and each of the second fixing bases 133 and the corresponding second driven member 136 b can rotate with respect to the second shaft 134 through the corresponding second bearing 136 c.
- the second driven member 136 b is a pulley and the second linking member 136 d is a belt.
- the second linking member 136 d is coupled to one of the two second driven members 136 b and a power output shaft 136 e of the second motor 136 a .
- the power output shaft 136 e drives the second linking member 136 d to drive one of the second driven second driven members 136 b to rotate with respect to the second shaft 134 , thereby causing the two second fixing bases 133 to rotate with the second driven member 136 b with respect to the second shaft 134 .
- the swing chair 100 further includes a carrier 140 fixed to the first shaft 132 , wherein the first motor 135 a and the second motor 136 a are fixed to a surface 141 of the carrier 140 facing the base 110 , the power output shaft 135 e of the first motor 135 a and the power output shaft 136 e of the second motor 136 a are located on the same plane, and the plane is parallel to the surface 141 of the carrier 140 facing the base 110 . Since the power output shaft 135 e of the first motor 135 a and the power output shaft 136 e of the second motor 136 a are located on the same plane, the required configuration space between the seat 110 and the base 120 can be greatly reduced.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a swing chair according to another embodiment of the disclosure.
- a first motor 135 a of a swing chair 100 A of the present embodiment is fixed to a base 120 .
- a power output shaft 135 e of the first motor 135 a and a power output shaft 136 e of the second motor 136 a are located on different planes.
- the two first driven members 135 b are respectively fixed to the two opposite ends of the first shaft 132 and the first shaft 132 is connected to the two first bearings 135 c through the two first driven members 135 b .
- each of the first bearings 135 c is fixed to the corresponding first fixing base 131 with an outer ring, wherein each of the first driven members 135 b is fixed to an inner ring of the corresponding first bearing 135 c.
- the first shaft 132 can rotate with respect to the two first fixing bases 131 through the two first driven members 135 b.
- the power output shaft 135 e drives the first linking member 135 d to drive one of the first driven members 135 b to rotate with respect to the corresponding first fixing base 131 , thereby causing the first shaft 132 to rotate with first driven member 135 b with respect to the two first fixing bases 131 .
- the swing chair of the disclosure is applicable for e-sports or virtual reality games to provide the player with a better seating experience and an immersive interactive experience.
- the swing chair may interact with the game console to cooperate with the game scenarios to automatically rotate around the two different axes or produce movements such as leaning forward and backward or slanting leftward and rightward, thereby enabling the player sitting on the swing chair to be immersed in the game.
- the swing chair provides power sources for movements such as leaning forward and backward or slanting leftward and rightward through the two motors respectively, so the movements such as leaning forward and backward or slanting leftward and rightward may be synchronously produced or asynchronously produced.
- the two power output shafts of the two motors are located on the same plane, the required configuration space between the seat and the base can be greatly reduced.
